We are now looking for nominations for a Symposium Ambassador to grace our 2010 Symposium Poster. A collection of samples of the creative talent and pictures of the individual must accompany the nomination.
A local portrait artist volunteers his or her time and talent to paint a beautiful portrait of the individual, incorporating their specific talent into the background of the portrait. Sponsors provide the printing and the portrait is reproduced into a beautiful poster for the Geneva Centre for Autism Symposium. The Symposium Ambassador and the artists are invited to attend the Symposium and sign personalized copies of the poster for our delegates.
Family members of the individual selected for the poster have told us of the positive impact the poster has had on the individual’s self esteem and the respect that it has generated for his or her talent amongst their peers and in the community. In some cases the poster has helped launch a career as an artist for the individual.
If you know someone with ASD with a talent worthy of recognition and would like to have them considered for the Symposium Ambassador Competition please send samples of the individual's work and 2 or 3 pictures of the individual to:
